I was so preoccupied with bad news and features that I forgot to say everything else I had to say! So now that I'm done those water changes, I'm posting again.
I moved Maddi to the 12 gallon by herself for now. She has always had a chronic case of fin rot in the .5 gallon, even when I change her water every day, so hopefully she'll do better in there. When the other five females come, I'll take her out temporarily before putting all eight females in together. Don't have to worry about her claiming territory because there are only a couple decorations in there right now, and I'm going to be adding tons of plants before putting all the girls in, so she won't recognize it. I have a couple live plants and tons of silk ones on the way, so by the time I get the fish and quarantine them for a week I should be all set.
I should be (finally) getting those five other females in the next week. I'm getting to be less and less of a fan of winter. I don't normally mind it all that much... but it's keeping me away from my fishies.
Also, I'm moving Sky to the 2.5 gallon. Alpha's not happy to give up his tank... but Sky is so jittery about everything, I don't want to freak him out with water changes every second day.
And... I joined Technorati. So if you've got an account, there's a link to fave this blog on the left.

I don't know how you could do water changes every second day. Alpha gets so stressed with water changes once a week, I'd be so worried to do them more often! You must have some tough fish. :)
Ya... Sky's the only one who gets stressed over them. The girls get excited because I always redecorate their tanks or put them in a new one entirely... and my Alpha is just kind of neutral about everything, lol.
